Puccini, Virtue, & Redemption

No, no, no, I will not be singing Puccini. The marvelous Yale Opera Studio will be doing that, in the form of Suor Angelica with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. I'll be opening the concert with Christopher Theofanidis's Virtue. Jointly commissioned by the NHSO, Fairfax Symphony, and Adrian Symphony, this performance marks the final installment of three premieres of Theofanidis's work, based on Hildegard von Bingen's magnum opus, Ordo Virtutem.
